Not So Pro 3

[redline4]

I had a liver biopsy several years ago (now you know why I quit drinking) and the sensation of the needle passing through the gut bag was an unforgettable experience.

I came close to passing out when my wife was having her issues and they did a bone biopsy.
They made a small cut in her leg and then using this crazy looking spring loaded center punch with a hollow tube on the end looking thing proceeded to "tap it with a small mallet" against her femur. I started to get warm and fuzzy and one of the nurses took me out of the room. First time something like that ever happened to me.
My wife said it was pretty awful as they "can't numb bone"..

I,m done for the day…. That’s worn out done.
Up and down a ladder setting ropes & cutting face & back cut sometimes 2 trees at once. Cos they all grew to close and limb locked to much.
Then help pull the tops out with 2 :1 pulley and that’s two of us pulling them. Then snedding/limbing the tops to go throu the 4” chipper which that was the other guys job.
Look at the pic and the red line is where I had to cut.. and the end of the line is where I got to.
Although there were 3 whole trees at the front that came out as well.

the worst thing is I know they will be coming out later… but *B-S.... bureaucracy means they stay for a bit longer resulting in more work.

Ahh well. It’s a learning curve..

No. Someone else in charge here. I'm still making my foreman pay without all the bull crap that goes with it.

Can anyone offer a tip or two for removing a broken 12-24 tap from a reinforced metal door frame. And i already know not to break it off in the first place....

if you can make your self a tool with a couple pins to fit down into the tap flutes you might be able to back it out. I know I have seen these for sale somewhere. the other option is to work at shattering it bit by bit.

Kinda looks like my truck toolboxes right now.
Should probably do something about that.

Musta been A Husky product, shooda put that there Red Loctite on it!

I used to break the small bolts, then the Small bolt retractor tap thingee in the in engine blocks all dee times. If it's not red hot, it's not meant to be moved. Even the metals expand and contract at dillerent rates, it's time to move!
I just moved!
You have to have a steady hand and small bit to drill around your tapping trash left behind to free it up.
They don't teach ya that stuffs in the Ingersoll Rand Door hardware course.
You're gonna get 3 metal screws In . Get paid walk away.
Ya gotta ignore the boss man rushing you and keep clearing out the tap or snap! Don't be using the drill for a hand tool operation.
* It's billable minutes you gotta add up!
I've been the doer of bad things like this in a senior facility. My partner was drunk so I took the reigns and installed the locksets, hinged doors and panic bars.
That tap is a lost cause. If you can drill and tap another hole through the hinge and welded frame.
We used Tex/Tecks to cut and tap the threads. If you gotta run home to meats on the grill and the USMC is ringing the dinner bell.
Better to just rent out some pigs!
Nobody's paying overtime.

Use a punch and drive the Tap into the hollow part of the frame, you will be left with 50% of the threads. Re-tap and insert screw. Not too tight.

That sucks! Had a vacation ruined by a hurricane once, never scheduled another this time of year.
